18.VERY
SPECIAL AND IN-DEPTH ARTICLE:FABULOUS TIMES, PLACES AND PEOPLE
GAY PARIS IN THE 20s and 30s: Background, People, Places, Personalities, Hospitality, Restaurants, Food, Wine, Pleasure, Style, Fashion, Arts, Poetry, Music and Adventure. According to Max de Lafayette.
Mon Dieu! To be and live in Paris during "Les annees folles", between the end of 1917 and 1934, especially if you were an eccentric artist, an intellectual adventurer, a frou-frou femme fatale, a genius or an independently wealthy American, willing to spend a lot of money on arts, dating and women. Ask Madonna, Paulette Attie, Penelope de Vassy, Contessa Alison England and Louise de Chambertin. Really "real" America's la crème de la crème was there. The "real" American high society, the privileged class, the snobs (Although it was too early for the Americans to know how to be a snob), les bourgeois, wealth filthy characters, the hustlers with a style, the scandalous adventurous women, the schmoozer and the cruisers, the handsome gigolos, the champagne, the caviar, the kisses and the misses, sex, the drama and all the "chic" pleasures of the era. Hemingway was here. Paramour Stein too. Why Paris - what made everybody want to come here and create, and drink, and dance, and paint, and write stories or invent them? Women? obnoxious, over-cultured and over-sophisticated Frenchmen? Bubbly champagne? Sinfully good wine? Nice plat de fromage? A nostalgia? A fantasy? A new social, political and artistic era? A modern Parisian revolution? Yes! Yes! All of the above!

24.THE
LEGENDARY HOTELS. THE VERY ELITE, LA CRÈME DE LA CRÈME,
BY MAX de LAFAYETTE.
Not because, they offer their guests, the state of the art computers gadgets, communications facilities, fitness and training centers, Tantric massages, Yoga lessons, and all the silly stuff and mimics "nouveaux riches" are impressed by. Non, cher monsieur. The classy aristocratic hotels in Paris are not crafted for those who made a fast buck on Wall Street or traded online while joking around Central Park. These hotels are the jewels of Paris. They are the world's very elite, because they have class, aristocratic flair, a real blue blood signature...because they did not change their Louis XIV chandelier for high tech light spots and buzzing neon...
They
are the real thing! Furnitures are of "de l'epoque", the culinary flair is
Cordon Bleu de rigeur with "un soupcon" de Babette...Because every single
detail, from the curve of an antique Louis Treize chair, to the Style
Empire linen broderies, and from the signed Gobelin's friendship with an
unspoiled historic hanging wall...and from the choice of art objects to their
discreet marriage to the colors whispering in the fire place and the fatale
scent of Parisian coquettes
THE WORLD'S BEST HOTELS. WHAT IS THEIR SECRET? By Max de Lafayette An in-depth article about the successful operations of the world's best hospitality establishments, including their guest services, food, beverage, accommodations and "what make them" la crème de la crème.

27.THE WORLD'S MOST UNBELIEVABLE HOTELS
To call the Ice Hotel unbelievable, would and could be an ironic statement. It is entirely built out of huge masses of ice and snow. The most unbelievable aspect of it is ITS ANNUAL REBUILDING AND RECONSTRUCTION. Yes, sir! The ICE HOTEL is built and rebuilt every single winter. Every single room and facility is to be redesigned and erected every season, including the movie room, all the bedrooms, the chapel, the kitchens and frozen beds.
